Alternando da 1 a 100 e viceversa 1977

Alighiero Boetti's 1977 artwork, *Alternando da 1 a 100 e viceversa*, exemplifies his conceptual art style. The piece is a hand-stitched tapestry composed of a grid of 100 squares, each containing a unique, abstract design. Boetti, known for his use of mathematical patterns and repetitive motifs, challenges viewers to engage in a process of visual exploration and discovery. The contrasting black and white patterns, reminiscent of digital code or binary language, invite contemplation on the nature of communication, representation, and the limitations of language. The artwork’s title, meaning "Alternating from 1 to 100 and vice versa," emphasizes the interplay of order and randomness, further enhancing the piece's conceptual depth.
